FAQs

Cetgel Capsule is used in the treatment of common allergies, hay fever, conjunctivitis, eczema, reactions to insect bites and stings, and skin rashes.

Hay fever is an allergy caused by outdoor or indoor allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, or tiny flecks of skin and saliva shed by cats, dogs, and other animals with fur or feathers (pet dander). It leads to cold-like symptoms (running nose, watery eyes).

Cetgel Capsule contains cetirizine (an antihistamine), which blocks the effects of a chemical messenger known as histamine, which is naturally involved in allergic reactions.

Depending upon the severity of allergic conditions due to allergens, Cetgel Capsule can be safely taken daily until you get complete relief as long as your doctor has advised you to take it.

Cetgel Capsule is an antihistamine providing instant relief from allergic conditions; however, in some people, it may cause sleepiness and induce some drowsiness during the day. Hence, you are recommended to take it at night in case you are experiencing excessive drowsiness during the day.
